EDITORS COMMENTS
Unveiling a masterpiece of Early Christian art, this exquisite dyptich print dates back to the 5th century AD. Dubbed 'Queriniano' after its supposed creator, Saint Quirinus, this stunning ivory artwork is attributed to an Italian School artist. The delicate relief depicts two figures - likely representing lovers or mythological characters - in a tender and intimate pose. One figure appears nude, while the other wears a flowing garment that seems to be blowing away by the gentle breeze.
The dyptich's intricate details are reminiscent of ancient Greek and Roman art, with its use of classical motifs such as acanthus leaves and scrolling vines. The overall effect is one of serenity and devotion, evoking feelings of reverence for the divine. This remarkable piece has been preserved in the Museo di Santa Giulia in Brescia, Italy - a testament to the enduring power of art across centuries.
In this photograph by Stefano Baldini, we are granted a rare glimpse into an era when Christian iconography was still evolving and blending with classical influences. The Queriniano dyptich is not only a masterpiece of Early Christian art but also a window into the spiritual aspirations and artistic expressions of its time.
